Holiday Money (FeriePenge) Refunds

When you work in Denmark for a Danish employer you automatically earn the right to holiday pay. The holiday pay that you earn during the calendar year can be paid out to you when you take holidays the following year.

If you were not able to receive your holiday money because you left Denmark permanently before the beginning of the holiday year the National Fund for Holiday Pay (FerieKonto) will manage your holiday pay. However, we can assist you and apply for the holiday money refund on your behalf.

If the FerieKonto manages your holiday pay, they will issue you a letter after the end of your employment which will tell you:

The personal communications from your agents made all the difference in my choice to use TaxBack. Overwhelmed with what should have been a simple process due to an error going back several years in my taxes, I gave up doing them myself and handed it over to TaxBack. I was assured all 3 years would be fixed and my refunds recieved. Once I handed over my paperwork I never had to ask about updates or remind my agent to do anything - they were so on top of it and made it so easy! Matthew Lloyd was especially helpful and I can't thank him enough for his continued clear communications and patient explanations which saved me so much time!
